Join Us as We Meet Santa Goofy During the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
It’s the very first day of the 2025 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, and MickeyBlog is here reporting LIVE from the park, ready to wish you all a happy holiday season!
Throughout the morning, we have been reporting live from Walt Disney World, bringing you updates on the festive fun that unfolds. Earlier today, we even got the opportunity to meet Santa.
Now, however, it is time to meet another holiday character!
Visiting the Odyssey Pavilion and Glistening Grove
This year, EPCOT’s Odyssey pavilion is hosting the one and only Santa Goofy!
Based on how Goofy’s name was taped to the front entrance, however, he may not have been the pavilion’s first choice!
Inside the Odyssey, an abundance of glistening Christmas trees can be found as part of the Glistening Grove, presented by Salsam Hill.
The entire pavilion has come alive with holiday magic.
As you can see, the trees are well-lit, adding a magical feel to the entire area.
Here is another look at the displays.
A sign notes that the grove is “realer than real.”
The Glistening Grove sets the stage for Santa Goofy!
Meeting Santa, Santa Goofy
As guests wait for their turn to meet Santa Goofy, they can see a fun Christmas backdrop.
The meet-and-greet hours are also posted.
Finally, it was our turn to meet Santa Goofy!
As you can see, the loveable klutz is wearing his Santa suit and ready to deliver presents.
Standing inside his sled, Goofy was emitting the spirit of Christmas.
No one celebrates the holidays like Goofy!
He will be greeting guests daily through December 30th here at the Odyssey.
It was great to catch up with our old friend.
Holiday Hearth Desserts
Before leaving the Odyssey, we also made a quick stop at Holiday Hearth Desserts to check out their snacks.
This year, guests can get Reindeer Chow and a Frozen Caramel Hot Chocolate.
Here is a look at some more treats.
Needless to say, make sure you stop by the Odyssey pavilion during EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays!
